Justin was a 35-year-old man with eyes that sparkled with a sly intelligence and a face that was almost always graced with a smile, earning him the nickname "Smiling Fox." Despite his ever-present grin, Justin was a man of deep strategy and thought.

When Hattie posed a question to him, he replied with a calm smile, "Mrs. Hattie, this lady bears a striking resemblance to you. Though I'm not privy to the nature of your relationship, it's clear as day when you stand together-she's your daughter."
